Abstract
Recently, endovascular surgery became common approach for management of intracranial aneurysms. Though its efficacy, this approach is still new and under development. Here, we report our clinical experience in patients treated with two methods - balloon or Gugliemi detachable coil.
In addition, to understand better the mechanisms underlying postoperative complications, we studied them in histopathological specimens of patients and in a model of experimental aneurysm. From our data we conclude that choice of appropriate therapeutic method should respect specific conditions of patients as well as of facility.
Careful postoperative studies including examination of intravascular surface by endovascular scope examination would be useful for prediction of possible complications.
